Installing Guitar Pro 6 on x64 Linux

Many musicians know that recently Arobas Music has released a new version of the tab editor Guitar Pro 6. Also, the company promised the release of a linux version. In general, they kept their promise, but it is available only for x86 systems as a deb package. On the x64 system, the program has not yet been launched, or there have been no such attempts.
I managed to get it working on the x64 system.

Installation for Linux using DEB packages (Ubuntu, Debian)

1 . Download the free demo version of GuitarPro 6 from of. Site
2. We carry out the forced installation of the package:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /путь/до/пакета/GuitarPro6Demo-rev7894.deb
3. Download the necessary x64 libraries. We need the getlibs
4 package. Install the package.
5. Install the libportaudio.so.2 library. We use getlibs for this:
getlibs -l libportaudio.so.2
The console will offer to install the libportaudio2 library, press Y.
6. Launch Guitar Pro 6.

Installation for Linux using RPM packages (Mandriva, Fedora, RedHat)

1. Get from the rpm package deb. To do this, we need the Alien package:
urpmi alien
Maybe rpm-build is not installed:
urpmi rpm-build
2. Convert the package:
alien -r /путь/до/пакета/GuitarPro6Demo-rev7894.deb
3. Run GuitarPro6Demo-rev7894.rpm and install it if you have an x86 system, if you have x64:
rpm --force GuitarPro6Demo-rev7894.rpm
4. Then everything goes, like on Debian. If you do not find rpm getlibs, then convert the deb file as in step 1.

PS On Linux, it is impossible to quack, so we buy a license, or we are satisfied with the demo version.
